i guess no moms exsist on this site

ANY moms out there???

I'm a mom. I started the ultrasound program when my daughter was only 10 months old. It was very hard because this program [or at least the one i went to, but i believe they all are] very time consuming. I felt like school was my life and with my child being so young, yes I do feel like I missed out on a lot.
But, that being said, I am glad I did it because now I have a great career and am able to provide for my child better than most.

i'm interested in becoming an ultrasound tech. Can you tell me the difference between UT and a EKG tech? If I saw a job for EKG tech but only went to school for UT would they consider me for the position? Is there a site i can get info? I really need to find a job!!!

EKG and ultrasound are two completely different things. Ultrasound makes more money.

I am a mom. I was pregnant during school. Had the baby in the middle of it. Finished school when she was 8 months old. It is not easy but it is worth it. Ultrasound school does take 100% commitment. There is much to learn and never enough time but it can be done and has been done by many moms out there. So go for it.

Hi moms,

I'm a mother of 10 year old girl.I have been a teller,phlebotomist,medical receptionist,now i'm working in a hospital as specimen processing tech i'm happy with my job but get paid very less 12.30/hr when i was plebotomist i earned 17/hr,but had to quit that job b'coz it was physically demanding.My feet used to burn and got slip disc suffered from back ache.

So now i feel better and wanted to do US but very doubtful would i be able to take it physically do i have to lift patients, move heavy things.My husband says to come to IT field.I have lot of passion towards towards medical field.I like helping ppl.

Second thing is i feel i'm not smart enough to do it.I have a associate degree in health care mngmt i can be a medical coder but want to be with patient side.Badly want to become ultrasound tech.

I would greatly appreciate any advice.Thx

I suggest job shadowing to get a better feel for what a sonographer actually does in real life.
